Thank you all for the quick replies. I use Maria for several home automation projects here at the house so figured it was a no brainer. I use this Windows PC as a common file location and DB server, OTA TV recording, etc. etc.
Could I store the sqlite file on a network drive to cut down on the rpi sdcard writes? Or just live with the data loss risk and perform backups?
